My Favorite App is.....

...CamScanner. I've talked about this app before, but because it is so helpful and versatile, I wanted to update my post. CamScanner is available in a free version for Mac, Android, and Windows. If you prefer an ad-free version, CamScanner Pro will also allow more cloud storage. At $4.99, it is worth this small fee. Here are the links for the pro versions: Mac, Android. (currently only $1.99!) I was unable to locate a pro version for Windows phones. iPad users can also download the free or pro app.
So, allow me to explain why this is such an awesome app. Do you need to share several pages with someone and they need them right away? You're not near a scanner or copier. (Some copiers can scan to email) What's a person to do? Here are some of the things that CamScanner can offer you, as per camscanner.com. (My additions are in BLUE.)
